Description
Second spiked head documented for the 2006 Philadelphia Mint Lincoln Memorial Cent, this variety was cataloged by Cuds on Coins on January 13, 2017. A spiked head is a die crack or break at the top of Lincoln's head: planchet metal fills the crack during striking and stands up from the portrait as a raised spike. The spike on this -02 entry differs from the -01 variety in position and angle, so the two come from different dies.
